Living Through War With A Disability

Trigger Warning. 

This is a very heavy but very important episode. I am sure your news feed has been full of updates about the war in Ukraine. I know mine has. 

The choice of fleeing your country or staying put despite danger is one that we all hope never to have to face.

Can you imagine living through war while also having a disability? 

It's something that I wanted to explore and highlight.
